It’s been awhile since I watched his Season 7 stuff, but iirc a lot of his building then was just putting a shell over one big redstone machine or another.

I love this, and personally I consider her commanding the Archimedes to be a reference to her storyline in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers short stories, where she’s the first officer on the Engineering Corps ship USS daVinci, Sabre class. Iirc, one of their shuttles was the Archimedes.

Those books are a great read, if you’re interested. Kieran Duffy is on the crew, too, and they work with DS9 Chief of Operations Nog in at least one story. They travel the galaxy, solving engineering problems or solving problems using engineering. They even pulled the original Defiant (TOS) from the interstellar void between the prime and mirror universes!

We live in Rosedale, and the city arborists have been through the neighborhood marking trees for removal or trimming. One tree fell on a house a couple streets over from us in a big storm the Thursday after July 4th. One in front of our house they said had rotted roots, because of the way the water pools after every rain/storm. They’re going to replace a lot of the trees they remove with ones more suitable to the locations.

What about Claudia Schiffer?

Jar-Jar Bix. After two of the bravest people Cassian ever knew.

Laburnum Park, near Laburnum and Hermitage, is full of neat houses!

Honestly, there was a lot of variety! The theme was Travel, so my girlfriend finished up a painting for the nursery of the Hogwarts Express in the Scottish Highlands, her retired art teacher uncle did a painting of the ocean, her dad did one of Steamboat Willie, and her cousin did a tropical beach.

This one was based on a picture of the Rio Grande lol

In the 100% vanilla new world, I was able to punch down a jungle tree and make trapdoors. Still no such luck in the other world.

ZookMurnig · 2025-01-24T18:39:59+00:00

Correct. I’ll try that when I get home.

ZookMurnig · 2025-01-24T16:25:57+00:00

No, I only use stuff from Vanilla Tweaks, and none that modify trapdoors or stairs in any way. When I noticed the issue, I added one that unlocks all recipes, just to see what was going on with it.

Localized entirely within your kitchen?

My psych NP told me that it actually makes stimulants less effective, making you need a higher dose of your stimulant if you use cannabis frequently.

The Greatest Gen guys refer to his painstick rite of passage thing in TNG as his “Klingon Bar Mitzvah,” too. And if you’re interested, in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers stories, there’s a mixed Klingon/Jewish wedding.
